Living in Singapore - I agree they really do look fantastic! As does the Singapore Flyer - their version of the London Eye. But they are not the best lights - drive down Orchard Road and Marina Bay and see several miles of street lighting. And all the shops join in as well. Quite amazing to hear "Frosty the Snowman" when it is 31C!! Oh - by the way - the UK gives NO aid to Singapore. It is simply that the UK Government has its own development fund in Singapore, meaning the UK is investing in Singapore order to make money out of Singapore. Have a Merry Christmas folks!
